and S4, when the robot executes the task, receiving the position of the target point, and determining a moving track by the robot controller 12 according to the track interval where the position of the target point is and the real-time position of the robot chassis 1.

In the specific implementation, if Ai is the section where the robot chassis 1 is currently located, the robot chassis moves at the direct target point position Pg.
And S46, in the process of moving the robot chassis 1 to the target point position, if the absolute value of the deviation between the real-time main mileage data odom1 and the real-time slave mileage data odom2 is smaller than the set mileage deviation threshold value SV1, the robot chassis 1 moves to the target point position, and the task is completed.

It should be noted that, if wheel slip occurs during the movement process, the absolute value of the deviation between the real-time master odometer data odom1 and the real-time slave odometer data odom2 will not be smaller than the set odometer deviation threshold SV1, and the embodiment of the invention judges whether wheel slip occurs during the movement process of the robot chassis 1 through the absolute value of the deviation between the real-time master odometer data odom1 and the real-time slave odometer data odom2.
In specific implementation, if wheel slip occurs during movement, the absolute value of the deviation between the real-time master odometer data odom1 and the real-time slave odometer data odom2 is larger than the set odometer deviation threshold value SV1, and the robot chassis 1 is parked. After stopping, searching a calibration point Pi with the nearest reliability of 1 from the current position, and moving the robot chassis 1 to the position of Pg after the calibration point Pi is corrected again.

In the moving process of the robot chassis 1, when each calibration point passes, the real-time position of the robot chassis 1 is updated to the directional position data of the calibration point, and the odom1 data and the odom2 data are cleared.
Further, when the robot chassis 1 is repositioned at the calibration point, the method further comprises the following steps:
s51, after the robot chassis 1 revises the position at the calibration point Pk, searching for the position of the next calibration point Pk+1 immediately, and calculating the distance Dk+1 between Pk and Pk+1.
